حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " فُقِدَتْ أُمَّةٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَمْ يُدْرَ مَا فَعَلَتْ، وَإِنِّي لَا أُرَاهَا إِلَّا الْفَأْرَ، أَلَا تَرَوْنَهَا إِذَا وُضِعَ لَهَا أَلْبَانُ الْإِبِلِ لَا تَشْرَبُ، وَإِذَا وُضِعَ لَهَا أَلْبَانُ الشَّاءِ شَرِبَتْهُ؟ "، ، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: " حَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ كَعْبًا، فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ لِي ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا، فَقُلْتُ: أَتَقْرَأُ التَّوْرَاةَ؟ " (١)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: A group from the Children of Israel went missing; no one could find out where they went. I think that they became mice. Do you not observe that if camel’s milk is placed before a mouse, it does not drink it, but if goat’s milk is placed before it, it drinks it? Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I narrated this hadith to Ka’b al-Ahbar (may Allah have mercy on him), who was a newly converted Jewish scholar. He asked me, “Did you yourself hear this hadith from the Holy Prophet (ﷺ)?” I replied in the affirmative. He asked me this question several times. Finally, I said to him, “Have you read the Torah?”
